Could you turn this into a proper commit log message ? Could you also
send your patch inline and not as an attached file ? This make it
easier to review and comment.

If the libav package is a copy of the ffmpeg one, isn't it possible to
share the same .mk file ? We could then make them separate when/if
libav diverges from ffmpeg in a significant way.

What do you think ?
